S.C. Code § 57-3-600
Before a county or municipal corporation may accept a deed to a newly constructed road or agree to maintain a newly constructed road, it shall obtain an affidavit from the donor and the contractor who constructed the road that all construction costs have been paid, that the road complies with all applicable construction specifications and standards for construction, and that the road is free of all encumbrances.
A donor or contractor who knowingly submits a false affidavit affirming that all construction costs have been paid for a road or that a road is free of all encumbrances, or both, is guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction, must be fined not more than two hundred dollars or imprisoned for not more than thirty days.
For the purposes of this section, a "newly constructed road" is one which has been completed within two years of the date of the city's or county's consideration of whether to accept the deed or to maintain a newly constructed road.
